Leaking Coolant out of over flow line? Alright this is how this starts I come out of work and notice a small puddel under the right front passenger side of my car. I pay it no mind its a parking lot theres crap all over. How ever I get home and see some fluid coming out. So I'm like 
what the hell is that. I climb under there and see that there is a decent amount of fluild coming out the radiator overflow line? Now my confusion is the car was not over heating or acting funny so I have no clue. Any help would be aperciated Thanks.
P.S. Forgot to mention I have had this car for about 1/2 a year now and never have had this happen and I have not done anything to the coolant system ever so I have no clue why all of a sudden its doing this.

Well if its not getting hot then It's probably your radiator cap. Do you know anyone with a cooling system pressure tester? If so they can test the cap as well...it may be letting coolant by before the rated 15-16psi.

Probly my uncle runs his own auto repair shop I'm shure if my dad does not have one he will. Thanks for the info 
Sorry. Had to anser this so I don't sound like a dork. Why didn't I just take it to my uncle? He lives about 1hr and 45 mins away. Didn't think it was a good idea to drive like this and he didn't anser his phone today.
